NF EN ISO 15001
Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment - Compatibility with oxygen
ISO 15001:2003 specifies minimum requirements for the oxygen compatibility of materials, components and devices for anaesthetic and respiratory applications which can come in contact with oxygen in normal condition or in single fault condition at gas pressures greater than 50 kPa. ISO 15001:2003 is applicable to anaesthetic and respiratory equipment which are within the scope of ISO/TC 121, e.g. medical gas pipeline systems, pressure regulators, terminal units, medical supply units, flexible connections, flow-metering devices, anaesthetic workstations and lung ventilators.Aspects of compatibility that are addressed by ISO 15001:2003 include cleanliness, resistance to ignition and the toxicity of products of combustion and/or decomposition.

ISO 15001:2010 specifies requirements for the oxygen compatibility of materials, components and devices for anaesthetic and respiratory applications, which can come into contact with oxygen in normal condition or in single fault condition at gas pressures greater than 50 kPa. Additionally, ISO 15001:2010 gives general guidelines for the selection of materials and components based on available data on their oxygen compatibility, and for carrying out a risk analysis, including addressing the toxicity of products of combustion and/or decomposition. Aspects of compatibility that are addressed by ISO 15001:2010 include cleanliness, resistance to ignition and the toxicity of products of combustion and/or decomposition at the design, manufacturing, maintenance and disposal stages. ISO 15001:2010 is applicable to anaesthetic and respiratory equipment that is within the scope of ISO/TC 121, e.g. medical gas pipeline systems, pressure regulators, terminal units, medical supply units, flexible connections, flow-metering devices, anaesthetic workstations and lung ventilators.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
